Table 4. Lipid profile at baseline and at 12 weeks (n = 31).

	Baseline	12 weeks	Difference
	Mean (SD)
Total chol. mmol/L	5.2 (0.9)	5.2 (1.2)	p = 0.539
LDL mmol/L (N = 30)*	2.8 (0.8)	2.9 (1.0)	p = 0.148
HDL mmol/L	1.4 (0.4)	1.4 (0.4)	p = 0.514
Triglycerides mmol/L	2.3 (1.2)	2.0 (1.0)	p = 0.065**

Optimal ranges: Total chol ≤5mmol/L; LDL ≤3mmol/l; HDL≥1mmol/L; triglycerides ≤2.3 mmol/L.

*baseline value could not be obtained for 1 participant.
